New Delhi, October 12: CBI, probing the alleged double rape and murder case of two women in Shopian, has said it is investigating whether the FIR filed by the Jammu and Kashmir Police was right or wrong.
“Our immediate task is to focus, to prove, whether the FIR was right or wrong. That investigation is on,” CBI Director Ashwani Kumar told news agencies.
The CBI chief however, refused to say anything about the allegations of mishandling of the case by the state police saying that it was not the subject of investigation.
“I do not know. We are not looking into that. That is not our subject. We have been asked to investigate in the case, which we are doing,” he said.
The agency which will submit its preliminary findings before the Jammu and Kashmir High Court is awaiting forensic report of victims Neelofar (22), and her sister-in-law Aasiya (17), done by doctors from AIIMS four months after the alleged crimes took place.
“We are yet to carry out the forensic tests. We are working with a view to see whether the younger lady (Aasiya) was raped and murdered… whether the elder lady (Neelofar) was raped and murdered. That is what the FIR say. We are working on that,” the Director said.
